I get a kick out of their "pay your dues" page.

Since when does a real Communist run around with a wallet full of--gasp!--credit cards?

From the "Pay Your Dues" page.
Quote
All members of the Communist Party pay dues. Dues make up an important part of the financial support that keeps our work going. The Communist Party dues system is simple. Most members pay $60/year ($5/month). Low-income members pay $24/year ($2/month). Those who are able to participate in clubs and districts can pay their dues there or online.

For convenience, most members pay a full year's dues at once if possible.

Please note dues and donations to the Communist Party are NOT tax deductible.

Why not $24/year for all? How about no dues? That is the Communist way. No?

There is also the now banned Indonesian Communist Party or Partai Komunis Indonesia (PKI)
